A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

7 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 1 is a breakout hit far above it.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Strategy + Artificial Intelligence, priced around $15.
  • The breakout hits carry Artificial Intelligence + Competitive + PvE; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2014 to 2020, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Silver ($10k–$250k before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Gold ($250k–$1M). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
